More Than Weddings: Why Frungillo Hospitality Group Is One of New Jersey’s Go-To Catering Companies for Large-Scale Events

IMG 0359

When people hear the name Frungillo Hospitality Group, weddings often come to mind first. While weddings are certainly at the heart of what we do, our catering team is also trusted to execute some of New Jersey’s largest and most memorable events year after year.

From elegant galas and corporate celebrations to charity events, private parties, sporting events, and large-scale community gatherings, our team specializes in creating seamless experiences for events of every size. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for 50 guests or a celebration for thousands, our approach remains the same: exceptional food, attentive service, and thoughtful hospitality from start to finish.

Recently, our team catered a 700-person event, showcasing the level of organization, coordination, and culinary execution that large gatherings require. Events of this size take months of planning, experienced staffing, and a catering partner capable of maintaining quality at every stage. For us, it’s exactly the kind of challenge we love taking on.

We also had the opportunity to cater a high-profile event hosted by Shaquille O’Neal, further highlighting the trust that organizations and event hosts place in our team when the stakes are high and guest experience matters most. From VIP service to elevated presentation, every detail was handled with the same level of professionalism and care that defines all of our events.

One of the events we look forward to every year is the Far Hills Race Meeting, one of New Jersey’s most iconic annual traditions. Each year, our catering team helps serve thousands of attendees throughout race day festivities. Large-scale events like this require not only incredible food, but also speed, consistency, logistics, and the ability to serve guests efficiently while maintaining a polished experience.

What sets Frungillo Hospitality Group apart is our ability to combine large-event capabilities with personalized service. We understand that no two events are alike. A corporate holiday party requires a different atmosphere than a nonprofit gala, milestone birthday celebration, or black-tie fundraiser. Our team works closely with clients to customize menus, bar service, presentation style, staffing, and event flow to match the vision and energy of each occasion.

Our catering menus are designed to be flexible and elevated, offering everything from passed hors d’oeuvres and upscale plated dinners to interactive food stations, late-night bites, and curated cocktail experiences. Behind the scenes, our culinary and operations teams are constantly adapting to new trends, guest preferences, and creative event concepts to ensure every event feels fresh and memorable.

In addition to off-site catering, Frungillo Hospitality Group is proud to host events at some of New Jersey’s most recognizable venues, including Skylands Manor, The Inn at Millrace Pond, and The Great Hall at Monmouth University. While these venues are well known for weddings, they also provide beautiful settings for corporate events, holiday parties, showers, fundraisers, and social celebrations throughout the year.

At the end of the day, catering is about more than serving food. It’s about creating an experience guests remember long after the event ends. Whether we’re serving hundreds, thousands, or an intimate group gathered for a special occasion, our mission stays the same: deliver hospitality that feels effortless, polished, and genuinely welcoming.

If you’re planning an upcoming celebration, corporate event, gala, fundraiser, or large-scale gathering in New Jersey, Frungillo Hospitality Group is ready to help bring it to life.

Dimitri is thrilled to be joining the Connecticut wedding group at the start of the 2025 season. He is joining us with what he likes to call “northern drive and southern hospitality”. The last 10 years in Charleston, South Carolina has given him experience in cooperate events, weddings, and restaurant management. He has also worked to help build and train teams from the ground up to produce the best experience internally and client facing.

His combined experience and passion in hospitality, and his degree in Interior Design help him to produce and execute beautifully detailed and thought out weddings from start to finish.

Wedding days can come with a whirlwind of emotions and seem to come to an end in the blink of an eye. Part of what Dimitri loves best is working closely with couples and their families to help navigate through those emotions on the special day, and to incorporate moments to pause and capture the beauty that comes with getting married!
